Study Notes

Data Types and Visualization

  • A dataset can have various types of data, including:
    • Ordered factor (e.g., month)
    • Discrete numerical value (e.g., day)
    • Unordered factor (e.g., location, station ID)
    • Continuous numerical value (e.g., temperature in degrees Fahrenheit)

Data Visualization and Scales

  • Scales map data values to aesthetic values (e.g., x-axis positions, shapes, colors)
  • A scale must be one-to-one, ensuring a unique mapping between data and aesthetics values
  • In polar coordinate systems, positions are specified via an angle and radial distance from the origin

Data Analysis Tasks

  • Importing datasets and libraries (e.g., numpy, pandas, matplotlib, seaborn)
  • Importing a dataset (e.g., Credit Card Approvals) using pd.read_csv()

Data Characteristics

  • Categorical data: Gender, Married, BankCustomer, Industry, Ethnicity, PriorDefault, Employed, DrivingLicense, Citizen, Approved
  • Continuous data: Age, Debt, YearsEmployed, CreditScore, Income

Univariate Analysis

  • Univariate analysis is a basic form of data analysis, focusing on a single variable
  • Used to understand the data without examining causes or effects relationships

Data Analytics

  • Data analytics: the process of analyzing data sets to make informed decisions
  • Uses specialized software and systems to help businesses:
    • Understand customers better
    • Improve advertising campaigns
    • Personalize content
    • Improve bottom lines

Data Visualization and Analytics

  • Data visualization helps gain better insights into data
  • Both data visualization and analytics draw conclusions about datasets
  • Data visualization can be static or interactive
